Leonard Cohen was one of my favorite song writers and I especially like listening to him sing his own songs
But when it comes to Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley's rendition has always done it for me.
My buddy marty brought to my attention that there was a PBS tribute to Leonard Cohen and in this was a rendition done in 2005 by K. D. Lang (also a Canadian, like Cohen) in which she won the Juno award. I must admit that this version now sits high above that one done by Jeff Buckley
Here is KD Lang's version
and of course done by Cohen himself
I love Cohen's guttural voice. From my understanding when he recorded in his later years the microphone that he bought and always used was that used by the great Sinatra himself
